Dare to dream ….
Confidence to consider the seemingly
impossible
“There is no use trying”, said Alice,
“One can’t believe impossible things”
“I dare say you haven’t had much practice”, said the Queen.
“When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day.
Why sometimes I believed as many as six impossible things before
breakfast.” (Lewis Carol)

Personal Enterprise – talents for a purpose
Focusing your life solely on making a buck
shows a certain poverty of ambition.
It asks too little of yourself.
Because it's only when you hitch your
wagon to something larger than yourself
that you realize your true potential.
Barack Obama
